We present a compilation of multiwavelength data on different star formation indicators for a sample of nearby star forming galaxies. Here we discuss the observations, reductions and measurements of ultraviolet images obtained with STIS, on board the Hubble Space Telescope, ground-based Halpha, and VLA 8.46 GHz radio images. These observations are complemented with infrared fluxes, as well as large aperture optical radio and ultraviolet data from the literature. This database will be used in a forthcoming paper to compare star formation rates at different wavebands. We also present spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for those galaxies with at least one far-infrared measurements from ISO, longward of 100 um. These SEDs are divided in two groups, those which are dominated by the far-infrared emission, and those where the contribution from the far-infrared and optical emission is comparable. These SEDs are useful tools to study the properties of high redshift galaxies.
